A new phylogeny of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on nuclear loci obtained by phylogenomic methods

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
We present an extensive phylogenetic analysis, based on 293 nuclear loci and 728 individuals representing 237 species of Anastrepha, the largest and most economically important New World genus of Tephritidae. The analysis strongly supports the monophyly of most Anastrepha species groups, also revealing previously unknown relationships among species and

Complementary genomic and morphological data elucidate the phylogeny of obscure darkling beetles (Blaptinae: Platynotini: Eurynotina)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
First comprehensive phylogenomic study of subtribe Eurynotina using a combined dataset of 499 nuclear loci, 12 mitochondrial loci and 91 morphological characters covering all genera and species groups is presented. Eurynotina is monophyletic and genera within are redefined based on reassessment of old characters, generation of new characters, and ...

Phylogenomics and the evolution of larval feeding habits in the blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Phylogenomic data from anchored hybrid enrichment provide a new phylogeny of Calliphoridae that delimits the family and confirms division into eight monophyletic subfamilies. Fossil‐calibrated divergence times place the origin of Calliphoridae in the mid‐Eocene (ca. 41 Mya) along with other rapidly radiating families of oestroid Diptera. Reconstruction

Terminalia chebula attenuates restraint stress-induced memory impairment and synaptic loss in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the basolateral and central nuclei of the amygdala by inhibiting oxidative damage

Brain Research Bulletin
Chronic restraint stress induces cognitive abnormalities through changes in synapses and oxidant levels in the amygdala and hippocampus. Given the neuroprotective effects of fruit of Terminalia chebula (Halileh) in different experimental models, the ...

Phylogenomics and biogeography of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), with a revised subgeneric classification of Triepeolus and its sister genus, Epeolus Latreille Filogenómica y biogeografía del género de abejas cleptoparásitas Triepeolus Robertson (Hymenoptera: Apidae), con una clasificación subgenérica revisada para Triepeolus y su género hermano, Epeolus Latreille

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...
